A timeless XPY Sterling Silver Rose Gold and Diamond Triple Heart Necklace.
A combination of sterling silver and pink gold open-heart shapes create this playful pendant design. The two-tone display generates a unique metallic contrast which emphasizes the sparkle of the round diamond accents. Resting along an included 18-inch box chain that fastens with a spring-ring clasp, this pendant will remain securely in place close to her own heart. 
Bid on the Rose Gold & Diamond Triple Heart Necklace on DealDash!
Don’t forget a gorgeous, modern jewelry armoire! 
Keep your jewelry well-organized and beautifully displayed with this 7-drawer crystal jewelry armoire. There are seven lined drawers for safe-keeping of your rings, earrings, bracelets, watches and pins, while two side panels open up to hang longer chains and more delicate bracelets and anklets. Tangled chains and lost earring backs will never be a problem again. You will now have all your jewelry easily visible, which makes accessorizing a breeze.
Another great feature of this crystal jewelry armoire is that the top drawer flips open revealing a handy mirror. Lined compartments ensure your pieces are cradled in a scratch-free environment. The armoire itself, is almost as pretty as the jewelry within. It features lovely contemporary line with a warm wood finish, and elegant crystal drawer pulls.

Is your mom adventurous? Does she love to travel, get out in the great outdoors? A new tent or an inflatable, very portable kayak makes a great gift for the adventurous mom.
Not on DealDash – but she’ll love it if you throw in a state park pass or annual  NPS – National Park Service pass! Check out the Inflatable 2-person Airhead Travel Kayak.
The Nespresso Citiz Espresso Machine and Milk Frother – makes perfectly frothed or steamed milk every time. 
Personal note: This Nespresso is by far my favorite way to make handcrafted espresso drinks, and at a fraction of a cost of a coffee shop latte! Plus, Nespresso sells “pods” of espresso in a variety of flavors and roasts. Perfect for at home or in the office. The milk frother is amazing, and the espresso comes out fresh and hot!

The KitchenAid Blender, Food Processor or Bella Food Steamer is perfect if you mom loves to make smoothies, chop up veggies (or just about anything) and steaming food turns out, is really good for you. 
How can you lower cholesterol, lose weight, and get vitamins from a lamp chop? By cooking with steam. Steaming renders the fat from meat, leaving it in the water to be discarded. The conventional cooking methods broiling, baking and frying cook the fat back into the meat. Because steaming gets rid of fat, the meat is lower in calories and cholesterol. And you can steam any kind of meat steak, pork, chicken, or lamb.”-http://www.thirdage.com/healthy-recipes/health-benefits-to-steaming-food.
